So Google thinks it knows best, "corrects" your spelling and sends you to the wrong continent? Genius.

You got it wrong, Google suggests the Niagara falls amongst the Niagra falls when you type "niagra falls".

It doesn't send you to the wrong continent, it asks you what you ment. In fact, on my Maps App on the android, if I type in "Niagra Falls", it's only the 5th suggestion:

I think it's brilliant, we have a lot of streetnames that are spelled in some older Dutch, meaning some letters are changed. Like "Keiserlei" is spelled "Keyserlei", and hundreds of other examples are spelled in different ways on signs, maps,... Google easily corrects this a lot better than any other NAV I've used.

- Found the hotel we had booked by name and took us there without issue.- Driving through a city with the 3D buildings is really nice, I really love the interface.- I don't have a car charger yet so turned the screen off. When a turn is upcoming, the screen switches back on to display the sat nav (with lockscreen in place). Excellent feature and the first time I've seen this on any device.

- Finding Manchester Arena was more of a pain than it needed to be. It isn't in the search results on Apple Maps so I used Google Maps from the web, but that doesn't have the easy 'heading marker' so swapped back to Apple Maps to orient myself!

My OH used it successfully on a 200 mile car journey last week, no issues. She was really pleased.

I was going on at her to download co-pilot as it has the onboard database - does iOS maps require an internet connection or does it download all steps/turns at the beginning of the journey?

Depends how you search but it's more than a suggestion in my eyes since it defaults to it.

Not that any other search engine is likely to be better since they are pretty much all American based. And as for Apple maps, I think the world has accepted they are poo in the extreme. Not that I ever used the old ones though and have yet to actually use the new ones either.
